This is how I do my bonsai. I love the form of enormous old gnarly trees. It's as nature intended it to be, not what some control freak intended it to be. Love your attitude about it.
Excellent video! What a fabulous beautiful tree. Hornbeam, one of my favorite tree! Thanks Mr. Pal! We always picked up knowledge from you! Cheers from LA!
Thank you for the video...you hold a lot of bonsai knowledge and we appreciate you sharing that knowledge...you will go down as one of the best..but pass the the knowledge
i were watching your videos so often :-) now i have my own hornbeam. sebastian (or even walter) - tress is perfect for stling - but when to do first stling now? now is almoast may. rather do it in late may when first little shots harden or wait for fall? i would do in may when first years growth hardens and then do hard cuts and style. do you agree? hope for your answear :-) really like your work but hve too few time to go to wotkshops. like raer to use my time for my trees :-) best regards Robert
How do you do branch placement/ planning? I cant understand how you decide which branches to leave and which to cut off? What is the order? Or No order?
Well...it is not really easy....and it takes few years to get it done properly...sometimes you leave some branches just to remove them later. You basically follow the growth and direction...or a 'dance' of a trunk. And try to imagine a big tree and look how growth patterns are in trees in nature. The 'only' let say rules...which are really not rules but natural habit of trees growth...are...branches grow radialy from the trunk...and they try not to overlap each other and that s the proces which goes naturaly as those branches in shade from the others wither and die. Tree discard them cause they do not produce enough food and are just a burden. Old deciduous trees are not pointed and triangle but produce a wide canopy at the top. There is really no order...but there is natural order...biological order. Good way is to also keep ramification spots bilateral...so one branch at one place ramifies only in two smaller branches...those two to four.....those four to eight.... These are only aproximate ways how to produce a crown structure...not rules...and there is not the best or only way that shoud be done...only the most natural... Try
Walter Pall is a BEAST!✊🏻 the most beautiful natural trees I personally have seen! Naturalistic should be the essence of bonsai period.
Best bonsai philosopher in world maybe.. Just completely loving the ideas he shares
Honest and true, unafraid to state the truth and still very respectful to other methods and people, love it!

I enjoy Pall's grow, whack, grow, prune method. Pall understands character and design.
Wonderful tree. I never get tired of your trees and style, and the pleasure you derive from them as you speak of them.
This is the original European style. We have to emancipate ourselves. Look ahead!

you could've said "thanks" for such a brilliant answer

Why there are so many poking branches? They are hiding the trunk.
I've seen people put artificial wounds on their deadwood parts, I'd rather have the original👍😎
this tree is dead
Sorry...this tree is alive
